US News LIVE: NY Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Vows To Embrace Muslim Identity Amid Attacks
In a tearful address outside a Bronx mosque on October 24, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, the progressive Queens assemblymember poised to become New York City’s first Muslim mayor, defiantly pledged to "further embrace" his Shia Muslim faith despite a barrage of "racist and baseless" attacks from rivals like former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The speech, delivered one day before early voting begins in the heated mayoral race, drew sharp divides: supporters hailed it as a stand against Islamophobia, while critics accused Mamdani of reframing 9/11’s legacy to prioritize post-attack backlash over the jihadist perpetrators who killed 2,977 Americans. Mamdani choked up recounting his aunt’s fear of subway rides in her hijab after the attacks, declaring, "The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker." Endorsed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Mamdani leads polls against Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, but the race has ignited national debates on faith, security, and identity politics in a city scarred by terrorism. Stay tuned for live updates as voting kicks off.
